GREEN SMITHS INTENTIONS.
He Will Not Demand Recognition as Mem
Der of the State Board of Equalization.

The purposes of Green Smith in regard to the

not DESTROYS of letting them reach the public.

MEETS WITH GENERAL APPROVAL.
The New Gas Ordinance Satisfies Citizens and
the Gas Companies Think Well Of It.

The natural-gas ordinance amended and
passed by the Board OF Aldermen meets with
general approval, and but slight criticism from
those who are to be consumers, while the
other hand those who are anxious to supply the
gas are well disposed toward the ordinance re-
garding it leading in the right direction,
though perhaps requiring further amendment in
some particulars.
II have had opportunity to look the ordin-
auce over carefully" said Mr.. Mansfield, OF the
Standard Oil Company. 81 say however.

that cannot do away with the mixer, and the
company furnishing the gas will have to fit the
mixer to the stove, crate etc. You will see, too,
that It would be unjust TO allow consumer to
place small stove in large room and force q
company to supply sufficient gas to m AXE the de-
sired amount of heat. This would require
large mixer with small stove, but of course
there will be a way to regulate such things. The
ordinance is evidently great improvement on
the former one"

Gated and cultured classes. Its membership In
all countries includes Christians, israeiites,

The Mobiles Of the Mystic Shrine are eminent
for their broad and Catholic toleration. Inc
noble who holds to belief in a Supreme or
Most High is never questioned as TO any denni-
ton of that belief The character of the order
is that of a poltico religious society. Among
the modern promoters of the order IN Europe
was Herr Adam Weiskopf professor of law IN
the University of Ingolstadt in Bavaria, who re-
yived the order in that city in l746.
Among the renowned patrons of the order IN
Arabia was the Imam Shayk Aou l-Barakat
Add -Ullah Ibn Ahmad Alma SAT-, known among
scholars by his title of Hafz uddeen. who died
A. D. 1880. The poet Hafiz is honored In Persia as
Byron is in England Strict Mohammedans re-
ject the writings of Hafz as too suggestive, put
he is more widely read than any other writer IN
the East by members of the order.
The order of Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine In
America does not advocate Mohammedanism as
a sect but lnculcates the same respect to deity
here as in Arabia and elsewhere, and claims for
this reason a grasp on the intellect and heart OF
all cultured people. The ritual now IL use Is

New York. April 30.-The EUenitg Post
SAYS: "The fight between the Western and
Eastern railroad companies about the pay

The trunk lines yesterday ordered that the
tickets of the AtchisOn, Topeka and Santa

That means, if the order is carried out, that
no tickets can be bought at any trunk line

will only be able to buy such tickets at the

of fact, their tickets were still on sale, but
